How we handle tile repair in West Dulwich

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlord and trade work in West Dulwich

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble

Repair or replace in West Dulwich?

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Choosing a repair company

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
